间位取代卟啉及其锌卟啉的电子吸收光谱

取代的卟啉类衍生物在气敏传感器方面具有广泛的应用前景.本文采用了密度泛函理论(DFT)和含时密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)研究了四种不同取代基的卟啉衍生物(meso位四硝基苯基/四氨基苯基卟啉(NO2PP,NH2PP)及其相应的锌金属卟啉衍生物(NO2ZnPP,NH2ZnPP))的紫外和近紫外光谱特征.利用两种不同的交换相关泛函(广义梯度近似泛函(PBE)和杂化密度泛函(B3LYP))优化了上述四种物质的结构,并应用TD-DFT计算了相应的电子激发能量和振动强度.结果表明,取代卟啉的吸收光谱与大量的电子跃迁有关;与B3LYP泛函预测的光谱相比,PBE泛函所得B带以及Q带的波长位置与实验值更为接近.另外,计算所得硝基取代基卟啉的B带相对于氨基取代基卟啉的B带发生了红移,这与实验现象也保持一致.由于卟啉衍生物的三重激发态在电子转移中有很重要的应用,因此在PBE/6-31G(d)水平上计算了四种物质的最低三重激发态能量,分别为1.426、1.469、1.608和1.581eV.

Density functional theory studies on the electronic and vibrational spectra of octaethylporphyrin diacid

The ground-state structure and electronic and vibrational spectra of octaethylporphyrin diacid (H4OEP2+) have been studied with the density functional theory. The geometrical parameters computed with B3LYP, PBE1PBE and mPW1PW91 functionals and 6-31G* basis sets are well consistent with the experimental values. Electronic absorption spectrum of H4OEP2+ has been studied with the time-dependent DFT method, and the calculated excitation energies and oscillator strengths are compared with the experimental results. The Raman and IR spectra of H4OEP2+ and the Raman spectrum of its N-deuterated analogue (D4OEP2+) were measured. The observed Raman and IR bands have been assigned based on the frequency calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory.     

A density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) study on optical transitions in oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)-fullerene dyads and the applicability to resonant energy transfer

The optical transitions of three different size oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)-fullerene dyads (OPV(n)-MPC(60); n = 2-4) and of the corresponding separate molecules are studied using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory. The DFT is used to determine the geometries and the electronic structures of the ground states. Transition energies and excited-state structures are obtained from the TDDFT calculations. Resonant energy transfer from OPV(n) to MPC(60) is also studied and the Fermi golden rule is used, along with two simple models to describe the electronic coupling to calculate the energy transfer rates. The hybrid-type PBE0 functional is used with a split-valence basis set augmented with a polarization function (SV(P)) in calculations and the calculated results are compared to the corresponding experimental results. The calculated PBE0 spectra of the OPV(n)-MPC(60) dyads correspond to the experimental spectra very well and are approximately sums of the absorption spectra of the separate OPV(n) and MPC(60) molecules. Also, the absorption energies of OPV(n) and MPC(60) and the emission energies of OPV(n) are predicted well with the PBE0 functional. The PBE0 calculated resonant energy transfer rates are in a good agreement with the experimental rates and show the existence of many possible pathways for energy transfer from the first excited singlet states of the OPV(n) molecules to the MPC(60) molecule.     

Time-dependent density functional theory investigation of the absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence spectra of solvated coumarins

Using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the polarizable continuum model, we have computed the electronic transitions of a large panel of coumarin dyes in their enol, keto, cationic, and anionic forms. Several processes have been studied: absorption, fluorescence, 0-0 phosphorescence, and triplet-triplet excitations. For each process, detailed comparison with experimental data has been carried out. Using the PBE06-31+G(d) scheme, it turns out that for a given electronic transition the experimental shifts resulting from the substitution of the coumarin core are nicely reproduced. Indeed, once a simple statistical correction is applied, the mean absolute errors on the absorption and fluorescence wavelengths are limited to 8 nm (0.09 eV) and 9 nm (0.07 eV), respectively. A valuable correlation between the experimental and theoretical phosphorescence auxochromic displacements has also been unravelled. The differences between the wavelengths of the various electronic processes of a given dye tend to be fairly predicted, especially for the fluorescence-phosphoresence shifts that are strongly overestimated by TD-DFT.     

给电子基团对吲哚染料电子结构和吸收光谱的影响

Density-functional theory study of Iron(III) hydrolysis in aqueous solution

Fe(III) hydrolysis in aqueous solution has been investigated using density-functional methods (DFT). All possible structures arising from different tautomers and multiplicities have been calculated. The solvation energy has been estimated using the UAHF-PCM method. The hydrolysis free energies have been estimated and compared with the available experimental data. The different hydrolysis species have distinct geometries and electronic structures. We have shown that improvement of theory level in calculating the electronic energy does not necessarily improve the estimated free energies in aqueous solution since the UAHF-PCM is a simple method that neglects specific interactions with the solvent. Therefore, it is important to have the correct balance between theory level used in the electronic calculation and the UAHF-PCM. The PBE/TZVP/UAHF-PCM method has been found to describe correctly the hydrolysis energies of Fe(III), deviating about 3.0 kcal mol(-1) from experimental values.     

Ab initio investigation of the n --> pi* transitions in thiocarbonyl dyes

The n --> pi* transitions in more than 100 thiocarbonyl dyes have been calculated with an ab initio procedure relying on the combination of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) for evaluating excited states and the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for modeling the bulk solvent effects on both the geometrical and electronic structures. Two hybrid functionals (B3LYP and PBE0) and several basis sets, some including f polarization functions, have been used. B3LYP provides the most accurate raw estimates, but once simple linear regression is performed, both functionals give similar results with a small advantage for PBE0. By use of the latter, the mean absolute deviation with respect to experiment is limited to 0.06 eV whereas less than 20% of the estimates differ from absorption data by more than 0.10 eV. To assess the validity limits of our model, compounds containing multiple C=S chromophores have also been considered.     

A profound density functional theory study to unravel the spectroscopic and molecular properties of two Flavanols differing in α-pyrone ring position

A comprehensive theoretical model was designed for two new flavanols that have been reported from Glycosmis pentaphylla, differing in the placement of α-pyrone ring. The density functional theory (DFT) approach was utilized for computing different properties of these compounds to validate the experimental findings and stereochemical assignments. Electronic properties, geometric parameters, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), and natural bond orbital analysis were performed for the first time at the PBE0-D3BJ/def2-TZVP level of theory for the compounds under study. The simulated vibrational frequencies for compounds 1 and 2 were computed and compared with the experimental results. nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (¹H and ¹³C) chemical shift values were computed at the PBE0-D3BJ/def2-TZVP/SMD_DMSO level of theory and showed a very good agreement with the experimental results for both the compounds. The electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and ultraviolet–visible (UV) spectra for both the compounds were obtained using time-dependent DFT in methanol, whose results exhibited excellent correlation with experimental data. The intermolecular interaction effect on geometric parameters, vibrational frequencies, and electronic properties were studied for the first time.
